To be sovereign means to be the supreme authority within a particular jurisdiction, with no higher human power. What does this mean? This means that, for example, the Macedonian people, as a body of citizens, are the HIGHEST POWER within the Macedonian state. They have the FINAL say on any matter within and with regard to themselves and the Macedonian state. There is NO higher authority (international or domestic) that can overrule them (natural law excepted).
As a sovereign body of citizens, they can choose to declare the Interim Accord ‘null and void’ at any time. This means that the Interim Accord would have no effect as if it NEVER EXISTED.
This is national self-determination in action.
Claiming that we need to appeal to another human power or authority is basically saying that the Macedonian people SHOULD NOT determine their own affairs and exercise their own national sovereignty. It also sounds a bit like the deluded cry for outside help that Delcev correctly warned about.
